Description

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a tire tread of a tire taken from the front and side of the tire;

FIG. 2 is a front view thereof;

FIG. 3 is a side view thereof;

FIG. 4 is an enlarged, partial perspective view thereof taken from the front and the side of the tire;

FIG. 5 is an enlarged, partial front view thereof; and,

FIG. 6 is an enlarged, partial side view thereof.

The top, bottom, and rear views are the same as the front view of FIG. 2 based on the repeating nature of the tread design pattern throughout the circumference of the tire. The other side of the tire is the same as the side views of FIGS. 3 and 6. The broken lines and the region between the broken lines defining the inner beads and the first and second sidewalls depict subject matter that forms no part of the claimed tire tread design and are included for the purpose of illustrating the full tire. Likewise, the tire interior forms no part of the claim. The circular broken line showings in every other tread block of FIGS. 1, 2, 4, and 5 are representative of the location of studs (not shown or claimed herein) located in the outer central ribs and in every other shoulder block in the circumferential direction.

Claims
